	fmt.Println("UUID5", UUID5)
}

The following standard UUIDs are for use with UUID3() or UUID5().

Types

type UUID

type UUID [16]byte

UUID represents a UUID

func ParseUUIDFromString

func ParseUUIDFromString(str string) (uuid UUID, err error)

ParseUUIDFromString parses a RFC 4122 compliant string representation of a uuid into a UUID4

func UUID3

func UUID3(namespace UUID, name string) UUID

UUID3 generates a version 3 UUID

func UUID4

func UUID4() UUID

UUID4 generates a version 4 UUID

func UUID5

func UUID5(namespace UUID, name string) UUID

UUID5 generates a version 5 UUID

func (UUID) String

func (u UUID) String() string

String provides the uuid in a format compliant with RFC 4122
